A “Type C” cable is also known as a pairs “flipped” cable. This cable configuration has a key up MPO connector on one end and a key down MPO connector on the opposite end.

This configuration has each adjacent pair of fibers at one connector flipped at the other. This means each “pair” is crossed. For example, the fiber at position 1 on side A connects to position 2 at the other end of the cable. The fiber at position 2 on side B connects to position 1 on the connector on side A.
